Has anyone experienced a plastic odor and taste? If so, how did you get rid of it? Tastes so bad my granddaughter won't drink water from it.

I haven't felt that using this bottle. However,you can get rid of this by filling the bottle with water and leave it all night. In the morning empty the bottle, wash it and it's ready to use.

I think the doll reaks. My son got it a week ago and when walking by the playroom I get a whiff and get nauseous. Giving it a bath with peppermint soap and vinegar to try to rid it of the smell now.

I have a Model B60, B70 Elite, and B40 Elite. I have had the B60 for three years, never descaled it, just clean it and have had no such problems. The B70 and B40 Elites are too new to say no problem. I have not experienced any plastic taste ever except with the cappuchino k-cups. Try a good brand of coffee and use a ceramic or paper cup. I have heard of others that had a plastic taste and that usually shows a sign of trouble about to happen to the brewer.

Washing the filter basket and insert should solve the taste problem. Since the machine is made of plastic, the smell will just have to wear off.

I had the same problem even though I have a Brita filter on my faucet. Customer Service said to go through the de-scaling process with vinegar and water, as written in the owners guide. I did it twice and got rid of the "hot plastic" smell.

Hmm I just tried some out of ours and it tastes normal. I will say though we always use our Brita filter so it may just be a temporary taste when new.

Any answer would be sort of subjective because one person might be more sensitive to that plastic taste than another person, but I personally have never tasted any kind of plastic taste in the water when heated. There are instructions in the package on heating a potfull of water and dumping it before using any. That may be the reason.

we only used ours for a couple weeks. I thought I could taste plastic. Ended up odering a percolator coffee pot and we love it

I actually decided not to use mine for drinking. I just added it to my mug collection. I didn't notice a smell upon opening mine, but one should be careful about drinking from a lot of plastic things. BPA is bad for you. Not sure what all this particular mug is made out of, however. Kind of sucks. I really just wanted it because it's cute.

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

Ugh, yes!! I ran four batches of ice through and a couple cups of vinegar hoping it would help but it hasn't! I am afraid to feed the ice to my kids because of the toxic smell!! How in the world do we get it to go away!?

when you first get it just make sure to rinse it out. that would be the only time you will get that plastic taste to it. but after you rinse it out i havent gotten any plastic taste. sorry for the delay

I think it taste horrible too! I either dissolve it in warm water and drink it fast or I mix it with a little orange juice. The orange is the best way to go to get rid of most of the horrible taste. Good luck!

Never experienced that. I didn't even do the recommended vinegar "wash" pretreatment. Not sure how plastic taste can be an issue since cooking is done mostly in covered pots. I have baked cookies (2nd time used) and they were fine.

I don't have an answer for you, but I think I'm about to return mine. I've been using it for 6 weeks thinking the metal smell and taste would go away, now I feel very badly about feeding it to him tasting and smelling like metal. I think I will call Baby Brezza this week and ask if that is normal and harmful, it can't be good.

Plastic smell goes away after a few uses. The temp dropping I don't think is normal. You might want to check if it's still under warranty. Hope this helps!

You must have a bad one. Mine did not smell at all. Sometimes hot sunshine can cause plastic to smell. Try putting it in the shade for a few days. If something had been spilled on it you might try washing it off with a hose. Washing it with a hose is what you will do when you spill something in it. Final option is sprinkle a healthy dose of baking soda on it and let it sit for a day, then wash it off. If none of that works, get an exchange.
